WHO: Izuku Midoriya, Matt Murdock
WHERE: Recolle, forested area
WHEN: Early morning, June 17
WHAT: Stabbing help
WARNINGS: A teenager got stabbed


[Izuku's not sure who exactly it was that stabbed him, but he's certain he got stabbed. The jab in his side, the way the knife was twisted and he was told not to talk about who did it.

It's... less than fine. If he made it to the hospital, he's not even sure anybody could see him.

Not that he can really make it anywhere with the screaming pain in his side. No, he's just propped up to a tree. His shirt's been bunched up and pressed to the wound.

Staying here forever isn't an option, but getting up sounds impossible.]

[ Matt had shifted his focus from the streets of the city outward to where monsters roamed on the borders. With the crime rate so low, and the limited interaction with sleepers, his efforts were better put to use keeping beasts away from the populated areas. Thanks to their invisibility and absence from work, he was free to go out in the suit even when the sun was out.

He's been trying to get more familiar with the forest, recognize it by the sound of the local stream and the smell of certain plants or animals. He's among the trees when he hears movement and he gets a whiff on the air, the smell of human blood. Without a word he follows the sound and the smell, keeping his footsteps quiet and calculated in case there's something dangerous he'll have to confront up ahead. ]

[There's nothing dangerous here, there's just a teen trying to breathe and figure out what the hell he's supposed to do with a stab wound when more than half of the doctors in the city can't even see him.

Izuku's not breathing well.

He's too lost in thought and pain to notice the guy in costume approaching.]

[blessmefather]

[ No sound of a second person or creature breathing, meaning the injured person is alone. He rushes ahead and can soon hear the pounding heartbeat of someone in pain. Matt shoves his weapon in its holster as he draws near and finally comes upon the tree where Izuku is collapsed. ]

Hey, can you hear me? What happened?

[ He kneels and reaches out to gently touch his shoulder. He sounds like he's conscious, based on his pulse, breathing, and position. Where's the wound? He tilts his head, checking his posture for signs of clutching the wound. ]

[fullcowl]

[Izuku's holding his bunched up shirt to his left side. The sharp scent of blood is in the air and it's clear that something or somebody broke his skin.

But at least they didn't stick around.]

St... Stabbed...

[Why is it so hard to talk? The pain, he thinks.]

[blessmefather]

[ A quick sweep across the air near Izuku with a hand reveals where his hands are grasping his bundled up shirt against the wound. Matt quickly presses one firm gloved hand over the material to add pressure. ]

I'm going to get you a doctor. Can you chew and swallow?

[ With the other hand he's drawing out one of the enchanted crackers Elliot made. It looks like a normal cracker minus the mysterious glow, like little stars twinkling that it gives off. ]

If you eat this it will slow or stop the bleeding.

[fullcowl]

[At least he can eat the cracker easily enough. Even if he's somewhat hesitant. It looks very strange, okay.]

Y-Yeah, I can do that.

[He'll use his free hand to take the cracker and eat it.]

[blessmefather]

[ The cracker seems to be successful based on the change in sound, like a hose leaking from a hole in its side was plugged up again. Izuku still needs a doctor though. ]

Good, good. Now I'm going to lift you and get you back to the city. Hang on, and try to stay awake.

[ Please don't pass out, please don't be that low on blood! He gently pulls his hand back from the wound and moves to scoop him up behind the shoulders and under the knees. ]

What happened here? Did one of the monsters attack you?

[fullcowl]

[Now that it's been taken care of, Izuku lets out a soft relieved sigh. They're not out of the woods yet, but it's better than continuing to leak out blood.

But at the question he immediately tenses up, hopefully this guy can assume it's just from being lifted instead of hesitance to answer.]

I don't think it was a monster.

[That's true. He's fairly certain the person who attacked him was 1. person-shaped 2. a woman. But he doesn't know much more than that He was also told to keep it a secret, whoever she was.

An easy promise, Izuku simply doesn't know who that person was.]

[blessmefather]

[ Izuku's pulse says he's telling the truth. Daredevil isn't hearing any large creatures or other people moving nearby, no lead on whoever is responsible for this. Getting the young man some medical help comes first though, he can return and try to track the culprit later, so he makes sure he has a secure grip on Izuku and makes a run for it. ]

Did you see anything at all? Like the size of the person who attacked you. Or hear their voice?
